6oz pour at Farmhouse Tap and Grill in Burlington. Hazy orange, lacing, thin white head. Nose is big and zesty, grapefruit zest, scallion, lime, orange. Flavor is super juicy, lime, orange, pine sap, tropical fruit, kiwi, kumquat, light sweetness. Full, bitter, spicy finish. Awesome.

This one poured a bright golden yellow color with a white head. Aroma was of grass, citrusy fruits and light pale grain. Flavor was very nice and crisp citrusy hops, but not that juuicy tropical flavor some of their IPAS have. Dry and refreshing. Good Stuff.

Sampled at the brewery. Pours cloudy golden. Aroma of a lot of hops. Flavor the same. Incredible IPA.

Growler 750ml. Pours hazy blond with white head. Intense lacing. Aroma is of citrus, acid, fruits. Taste is of citrus, acid, badass fruits. Palate: Perfect body for an IPA. Overall: Very good beer. Intensely fresh.

Draft at VSK night at Blint Tiger back on 11/28/2013 with James, Streets, some others. James saved some of this for us, but it wasn’t very much and may not have been as fresh by the time I arrived, so I will have to rerate it if I ever come across it again. From what I did try, I wasn’t blown away. It had good hop aromas and tasted fairly fruity and fresh, but I didn’t think it was that special. Easy-drinking. Again, will have to revisit.

Growler... Hazy golden pour with a small, creamy, white head. Good retention. The nose delivers tons of grapefruit, mango and guava enhanced by a wee note of pine. Medium-bodied with a lightly creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. The flavor is more bitter than sweet – simcoe and citra hops overpower biscuity malts. Finishes moderately bitter, raspy and as dry as a bone. Growler courtesy of ctipping!

Growler (750 ml). 2½ weeks old and still surprisingly good. Traded by Max L., thanks! Hazy orange with a creamy white head and good lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops (tons of citrus), fruits, pine and floral notes. Taste is moderately bitter with lots of citrus again. Piney and floral notes. Crisp. Mouthfeel is dry. Good carbonation. Extremely refreshing and drinkable. Super IPA by HF.

Thanks to Paul for snagging this gem for me. The beer is fairly hazy and golden hued with a soft white head. The aroma offers hops, tangy citrus, a hint of grapefruit rind. Delicious flavor. A beautiful hop forward beer. Mild bitterness and nary a hint of alcohol. Refreshing and tasty. It was quite effortless to polish off a pint of this.

750ml growler. Hazy yellow pour, white head. Aroma is funky dank hops, citrusy hops, light pine notes, balanced between the fruity and dankier varietals, possibly simcoe and galaxy? Taste is bitter, honey like perceived sweetness, hill farmstead style. Palate is well carbed, dry. Great IPA.
